RIB-EYE THATS WHATS FOR DINNER.

[Boss .300 winmag]

Now that’s a steak 🥩, mind you that’s a large dinner plate. Hanging dry weight was 1068 for this steer.😉

How old and what breed? How’d you finish it? I have 14 month old angus/Hereford I’m about to start finishing.

[Whitpirate]

Nice finish.  I just saw a 5 year old Black baldy steer that hung at 1560!  It was gigantic.

2YO, cracked corn mixed with wet cob 2 lbs a day last winter, reduced to a pound a day this spring/last summer, with all the hay he wanted in winter, and free range grass this spring.

Mostly Hereford, some black angus mix.

Yuuuuummmmyyy

    Salt and Pepper to you liking.   Traeger smoke for 45 min to 1 hour till temp is 120.....then sear on a 600-700 degree charcoal grill for 45 seconds a side (hopefully you generate some good flame for it to really sear off in).  Set for 7-8 minutes and eat.  One of my all time favorite meals.  MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm  Sooooo Gooood.

That is one fantastic looking piece of beef. The marbling in the meat is superb. If it were me, I'd dry age it for a couple weeks to lose some of the water weight but either way, that is a steak fit for a king.

[Blacklab]

Yeah I’d hit that 🥩 with a fork.

Yeah I hit it hard, came up short.  One piece of outside meat I couldn’t finish.

Had tacos from the burger tonight, man O man the flavor.🤪

[WSU]

As weird as it sounds, my family has eaten elk and deer only in things like tacos, spaghetti, etc for so long that we don’t really even like the taste of our home grown steers in it.

That’s not weird, I had the experience as well.

[Rex_04]

Likewise, after so many years of eating strictly elk burger in everything we grew to prefer it over the burger from our beef. Hard to beat a nice beef ribeye though, nice work.

[WSU]

Steaks are a whole different deal! Can’t beat em!

I've been told by many of family and friend that this recipe produces one of the best steaks they have ever eaten.   Hands down the only way to cook a ribeye.  I won't waste one cooking it any other way.     

[bracer40]

I have a buddy that does it similar to this. They are amazing steaks...
Every time..

[W_Ellison2011]

Don't have to have a traeger to do it. I'm part of a smoking group on Facebook that the guys do this with their regular smokers. It is quite good! When we get cows I'm going to have them leave a slab of ribeyes whole so I can try dry aging them for 20-30 days then do the reverse sear. Now I'm hungry....

Damn.
Now I need to go buy a small Weber to park in the Traeger section of me deck!!!

[rasbo]

Sucks getting old,a pic like that gets me excited. Damn,rub it down with some spices, uncovered in the fridge for a few days,then slapped in a hot cast iron skillet.  Ar ar  ar.

[npaull]

That's an extraordinary hunk of beef!

On the one hand, thanks for sharing! But on the other - come on man, you gotta make my dinner look THAT inferior?

Sometimes you just have to savor the natural flavor rasbo, trust me it was fabulous.😉

screw mountain house when you can pack a ribeye in. Best backcountry meal ever!

[yorketransport]

What gives man? You get a prime cut of meat, and I get two skulls that smell so bad the neighbor 4 houses down is complaining.

Reverse sear on a pellet grill like that works for any good "steak".  Beef, pork, etc.  Better on "thicker" cuts though, 3/4-1" min I have found is perfect.  Too thin and it becomes more difficult to get an accurate temp reading, plus it goes from not done to overdone quick.

Just did it on some 1" Pork chops last week, WOW, tender as heck, we were cutting them with a fork.

Damn.

Rectec makes a pellet fed Kettle grill now.  The kettle is the same as a 22" Weber (can even use weber grates and accys).  Little spendy but the flip a switch on/off is nice and it is at full temp (600-650*) in a couple minutes, plus it uses the same pellets I already have so I do not need to stock charcoal and pellets.  I bought it to go with my big RT, and they make a perfect pair for Reverse searing like this.

[2MANY]

It gets to 600-650
There website kinda made it sound like 550 was tops?

Pellets & environment make a big difference, so they say 550 so people do not hammer them complaining about not getting that hot.  People seem to hammer RT for every little thing lately.  Mine on max was running over 600 this summer. I usually dial it back to the 500-550 range when I am searing or doing burger/hotdogs.

[2MANY]

Sounds good.
I might have to give it a whirl.

Please let me know when another pellet buy comes along.
